Better to live forever [Rebirth]

Zhu Dingbei didn't expect Ning Heng to be so thin-skinned. He smiled for a while and saw that he really wiped the water and put on his clothes. He was afraid of making the honest man anxious, so he held back his smile and got up and said, "I want to wipe your back too, don't you?" What's the rush?"

Ning Heng paused his dressing hand, a trace of annoyance appeared on his face.

Zhu Dingbei was not as particular as he was. He put on his clothes after drying his body a few times, and went out with Ning Heng, but he insisted on asking: "Ah Heng, what I just said—"

Ning Heng pushed him into the bedroom, closed the door behind his back, ordered someone to watch outside, turned around and interrupted: "I have no affair with her."

"...Are you planning to take advantage of the little girl for nothing? Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that."

Hearing this, Zhu Dingbei looked Ning Heng up and down with a smirk.

Ning Heng felt quite helpless. Although he knew that Zhu Dingbei was mostly joking, he still explained to him in a serious manner: "I have no siblings in my family. She is about the same age as me. The queen mother asked her to be my companion. I To her, as a sister."

Ning Heng looks like a cold and unreasonable person, but he is the most transparent in seeing people, so the sixth princess's little thoughts can't be hidden from him.

However, they were only children in their early ten years old, and she was the younger sister he took care of and watched when he was young, so she pampered him a little bit.

The Sixth Princess was sent by Concubine Chen to be brought up in the Empress Dowager's palace since she was a child, and her relationship with her biological mother was weak, and the Empress Dowager didn't have much time to accompany her. In fact, her situation in the palace was not as smooth as others saw.And when she was at an age when she understood people's affairs and looked at people's faces, she got close to Ning Heng intentionally or unintentionally. It was probably because she found that Ning Heng, a cheap cousin, could indeed escort her in the palace and win the Queen Mother's favor. got used to it.

Rather than saying that the Sixth Princess has a deep-rooted affection for him, it is better to say that she is seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

And when he realized that the sixth princess intended to rely on him, he told the queen mother that he would not marry her, and the queen mother also made it clear to the sixth princess.The two sides already knew it well, not to mention that the sixth princess had confirmed it with him face to face, and after learning that he had no intentions, they didn't get entangled.

Hearing this, Zhu Dingbei was a little surprised and said: "Looking at her appearance, it's not like what you said, just to use you?"

This kid Ning Heng may not really understand the girl's mind, maybe the sixth princess' verbal promise is just a tactic to delay the attack, and he has no intention of giving up at all?

Ning Heng shook his head and said, "Anyway, she's just a child at heart. I won't marry her, and she won't marry me. As for the rest, let her go."

Zhu Dingbei stopped talking.

Ning Heng could clearly see that the Sixth Princess was Xiang Zhuang's sword-wielding intention for Pei Gong, but he still maintained the same attitude as before, as if giving people hope that he would be inseparable. This way of going his own way, obviously did not take into account whether the Sixth Princess would be hurt because of this up.

"I can't tell, you still have the ability to destroy flowers with your hands."

Zhu Dingbei was quite admiring.

"I don't care what happens to her." Ning Heng laughed, "However, if I care, I will think about what he thinks, be anxious about what he is anxious about, and never give up."

Zhu Dingbei raised his eyebrows, "That's my honor."

His promise like this is really not because of his narcissism, but because Ning Heng's eyes are too straightforward.

Sure enough, hearing what he said, the smile on Ning Heng's face deepened by two points.

Zhu Dingbei felt that it was a bit silly to discuss the relationship with his child so seriously. He cleared his throat, changed the subject and asked, "What do you want to say to me after staying with me? But is there a clue on the road map?"

Both he and Ning Heng have a tacit understanding to keep the distance between gentlemen. Today Ning Heng even brought the Lou family brothers up as a cover. Obviously he has important things to say. Sheepskin treasure map.

Ning Heng nodded and said, "Yes, I found some."

He took out the roll of sheepskin from the dark side of the bed, and said: "The Empress Dowager Zhao has a habit of keeping track of things, and the manuscripts she left are passed down in my Ning family. I have checked the manuscripts, and some of the places mentioned in them are Or it may be the place where the treasure is hidden."

Zhu Dingbei said inadvertently: "The royal family also has this manuscript?"

Ning Heng shook his head to deny his question, explained the three places he thought were possible one by one, and then said: "The Empress Dowager Zhao loves to travel, and she also accompanied Taizu to some places in and outside the country in her later years. If there is something to store , it is very likely that it was placed at that time. Even if it was released in the early years, the empress must take this opportunity to take a look."

Zhu Dingbei couldn't help being surprised when he heard the places he pointed out: "These three places are all out of our Dajing East Sea territory, and two of them are still in the territory of the Yi people."

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then frowned and said, "The places where the Empress Taizu went to in her later years should not be concealed. The royal family must have checked many times over the years. If there is something in these three places, why can't they check it?" arrive?"

Seeing how sharp he was, Ning Heng couldn't help but curled his lips, and said, "That's right, the royal family has indeed sent people to investigate these places, and even went to the sky and into the sea, but found nothing."

That being the case, there must be special reasons why Ning Heng still chose these three places. Zhu Dingbei couldn't guess, so he patiently listened to Ning Heng's words.

"These three freedoms are unusual. In the manuscripts of the Empress Dowager Zhao, there are records of the rising and setting of the sun in these places, which more clearly describe the tide and the situation in the water. I think the Empress Dowager Zhao must have her intentions, and this may be her A guide for future generations."

After listening, Zhu Dingbei nodded, and then asked: "Are there any similarities between these three places and this piece of sheepskin?"

Ning Heng nodded, "Barely it makes sense, but these are our guesses. Whether there is a deeper mystery in it, but we can't say for sure. I have sent people to investigate, and I believe there will be news soon. Changsheng, calm down and wait."

Seeing Zhu Dingbei frowning, Ning Heng thought that he was worried that his people would return in vain like the royal family, so he could only persuade him.

Zhu Dingbei laughed and said, "I'm not in a hurry, it's just... I was just wondering, is it possible for Mrs. Li to secretly transfer this treasure?"

Ning Heng pursed his lips. Obviously, he had considered this issue, and this variable was also beyond their ability to determine.

Zhu Dingbei patted him on the shoulder and comforted him: "Okay, it's useless to think too much. We'll have the result after two more months. Let's see the situation then."

He didn't have much attachment to that treasure, but he also firmly believed in his heart that that place was not an unbreakable top-secret place.If the people of Emperor Zhenyuan of the previous life can be found, there is no reason why he and Ning Heng will miss the treasure.

The two put the matter aside for the time being, talked about some homework, and then extinguished the candle.

This twelfth lunar month is destined to be different from the peace and smoothness of previous years.

After the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court still had no intention to suspend the imperial court. At the same time, one after another, secret letters arrived in Beijing. Emperor Zhenyuan cut the mess with a sharp knife, and killed nearly ten Zhonglang in half a month. General above the garrison.

The general in Liangzhou lost his head today, but who will it be tomorrow?

Not to mention the soldiers of the major garrisons, even the Beijing officials dare not relax day and night because of these changes.

The so-called non-separation of the ruling and the opposition means that if there is no blood relationship between the soldiers outside and the Beijing officials, there will always be some contacts in private. The Beijing officials are afraid that these generals will bite them, and they are very worried for a while.

But on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, most of the officials survived the day when His Majesty sealed the pen and approved the rest, and were allowed to go home for a good year. God removes impurity.

Seeing this, Old Hou Ye couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "I thought His Majesty would not let these people live until the end of the year, but I didn't expect to let them survive."

Zhu Dingbei flicked the teacup, and said in a casual tone: "This may be their last year."

Old Hou Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard it, seeing his grandson talking about these bloody things as naturally as drinking water and eating, he didn't know whether to praise or scold.

"Tomorrow His Majesty is going to pay homage to the Sheji and Taimiao. I heard that one of the chief officers of the Ministry of Rites made a small mistake and was severely punished by His Majesty. I saw that His Majesty became more and more tolerant, and the people outside were still relieved." It's too early. If it weren't for the end of the year and the beginning of the year, it is not appropriate to see blood, we Luo Jing may have to suffer from the bloody disaster in the year His Majesty ascended the throne."

Old Master Hou said so.

Emperor Zhenyuan had already done this, if he didn't make up his mind to purge the government and the public, he would have wasted the opportunity God sent him.

Zhu Dingbei hummed coldly, he never cared about other people's life or death.

"Yesterday, I had two drinks with Qin Laodi. His two underground sons are both in the garrison, and I am not afraid. But I can trust the character and family style of the Qin family. I think there will be no major omissions. However, now the garrison With such a big change in the officers and men, it is very likely that the two of them will be appointed by His Majesty elsewhere."

Old Hou Ye drank a glass of wine and let out a long sigh of relief.

In the past, he was somewhat envious of Commander Qin, his two sons were stationed in Sizhou, and they could go back to Beijing to have a look during the holidays, but now there may not be many days to live in peace.

Thinking of Qin Xi, Zhu Dingbei also had some emotion, but after all this is the decision of the Holy Inquisition, and they can't control it, so he turned the conversation around and said, "Grandpa, I, Zhu Jiazhu, have deployed the most this time, you should be more careful." , remember to tell them to act smoothly and not to stir up trouble."

The Zhu family has been passed on from generation to generation. Although the lineage of direct relatives has not been prosperous, the Zhu family has adopted war orphans throughout the generations, such as the third steward Zhu and the deputy general Zhu Fan. To them, the Zhu family is no different.The reason why the Zhu family's army grew strong was not only that the elite army led by the Zhu family's commander was invincible, but also because of the large number of soldiers surnamed Zhu scattered in the army and their profound background.

The old Hou Ye put down his wine glass and said: "Don't worry, my father. Earlier, your father said in a letter that he had written to several of your uncles. However, at the end of the year, I will also write a letter to tell them how to live. good."

His Majesty wants to stand up in the army, and he supports him with both hands, but if anyone in the Zhu family's army becomes the bannerman of His Majesty the Emperor, he will die of grief.

Zhu Dingbei nodded, not very worried about this, he still trusts the character of the Zhu family.

After a short pause, he said:

"Is Dad's arrangement in the Li family's army safe?"
